Jason founded Made In Space in 2010 as a result of analyzing the best possible approaches to enabling a fully sustainable form of space colonization. With a core focus on space manufacturing, the company has since built, flown, and operated the first and second 3D printers in space. Installed on the International Space Station, the first Made In Space Zero-Gravity 3D printer began space manufacturing in November 2014. Today Made In Space operates the second- generation 3D printer on the ISS, called the Additive Manufacturing Facility, enabling groups across the planet to have hardware manufactured in space. Additionally, Made In Space is working with NASA in the development of the Archinaut Program, to enable in-space robotic manufacturing and assembly of large space structures. Jason serves as the Chief Technology Officer, overseeing the deployment of the founding vision into the technical path of the projects, as well as development of the technology roadmap for the company.

Jason holds two degrees in Aerospace engineering, has studied at the Singularity University Graduate Summer Program, and is an internationally recognized speaker on the topics of space exploration and the theory of disruption. He serves on the advisory council to the Waypaver Foundation through his interest in addressing humanities grand challenges by developing more sustainable forms of space exploration. In 2014, Jason and his three co- founders were recognized by Forbes on the prestigious 30 under 30 list for manufacturing.

Jason Dunn, Rocket Scientist (EG10)

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
